• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

John Lennon was shot dead by Mark Chapman.
45 years ago, hard to believe.

 
I can't talk about the Beatles dispassionately because they were such a massive influence on my young life that they feel like part of me. I had a number of Beatles trinkets (Beatles tray, Beatles plastic wig) and used to buy all their singles on Parlophone when they came out.

If their first film "A Hard Days Night" comes on the tele, I urge you to watch it, specially if you are a youngster. It's both a fascinating slice of British social history and a catalogue of their brilliant early music.

The official Beatles tray was made at the Metal Box in Neath.
They went on strike over the wig in the Metal Box once too. IMG_8863.webpIMG_8864.webp
